Instrument coverage

North Vernon’s instrument coverage is concentrated on two of its four runway ends. All three approaches are RNAV (GPS), with one served end therefore having more than one procedure, while the remaining two ends have none. The 5,002 ft runway is 2,272 ft longer than runway 15/33, making the two alignments notably different in available length.

Local chart context

Greensburg Municipal has an equally small chart set, while Freeman Municipal and Madison Regional are only slightly broader. Columbus Municipal has twice North Vernon’s total, and Shelbyville Municipal has the broadest nearby coverage. Two sectionals provide overlapping VFR coverage, supplemented by the Cincinnati Terminal Area Chart for additional visual planning context beyond the airport-specific procedures.
